Hey there Gabe, I hope you are well! Could you please tell me what camera is this at 2:20? Thank you in advance xo
When you don't buy all the little things you don't need, you can afford the bigger, costlier things you do need (ie: a Berkey). My dad taught me that. :o)
i’m an introvert and hated school - all of my worthwhile learning came after school - where i could feel comfortable and really engage in the subject i wanted to research. surroundings are a massive part of learning, i think
I spend money on experiences for me and my 13 year old daughter. Coachella, different concerts, taking her to Lake Tahoe summer and Winter. Amusement parks passes. The memories are lasting.
What I see in watching this vlog post is that you've allowed yourself the flexibility to invest in or treat yourself to items or experiences that will enrich your life. In short, minimalism doesn't mean living a monastic existence just a purposeful, curated, essentialist life.
I switched from pen and paper to digital way. I had an iPad and I bought an Apple pencil and it became a game-changer for me. Much easier to find my notes, I don’t need to buy any physical planners each year and store them. I switched to ebooks a couple of years ago and am very happy to have more free space instead of additional shelves with books. I can make notes in my ebooks, and all of them all the time with me :)
I'm gradually changing and found what you say to be so. Thanks for sharing.
*”Do the difficult things while they are easy and do the great things while they are small. A journey of a thousand miles must begin with a single step.” - Lao Tzu*
For me I decided to finally invest in my mental health. For years I was just an impulsive creature, and I wondered why I would always be changing the course of my life. Since a year ago I go to therapy and it helped me soooo much.
As for education, I always saw it like something super important. I admit I don't educate myself as much as I could on a daily basis, but once in a while I get a scholarship for another master haha it's perfect because I can keep learning and I get to live in another country. I don't get money from it (scholarships usually barely pay my existence) but the experience is all I need. I'm on my way to try for a scholarship in Romania for next year :)
Food is also something I started to spend more money on in the last 2 years. The change in my health, body composition and energy levels is amazing.
Same on all points! I noticed that a college degree in itself isn't that important in my country, but constantly educating one self constantly is highly valued and has gotten me several jobs and now have a steady job (that pays the bills) and freelance jobs on the side (which I love doing and pay for the extras)
With your quality foods segment I can segue my comment into my big purchase: a freezer. I am learning how to freeze certain fruits as I bought the plants and am investing in growing my own berries and a pear tree. With the freezer we can make meals -or take meals home from gran- and freeze them. Also to buy my breakfast (açai) in bulk when on sale. This one works because I eat only one a day. I just found your channel and as an impulsive ADHD'er, listening to your videos while working really helps me focus on what matters and keep the impulses somewhat under control. Thanks Gabe, for sharing your knowledge!
I'm so glad to live in Germany. We don't have to think about our water. Tap water is better, cleaner and more testet than every bottled water you can buy 😅😊
I live in belgium (hello neighbors 😊). Also clean water here and used Britta filter for more than 15years already
Theoretically, that’s also true in the U.S., but there have been a few highly publicized municipal water scares. Tap water also doesn’t taste good in some cities. Does Germany not have an issue with pharmaceutical contaminants in tap water?
@@username00009 No, we dont have these problems.
Please keep these coming it helps keep me accountable.
Will do! Glad I can help
Such a powerful message! I try to get this point across to my students as well. Love it!!
Paying for Wash, dry and fold at the laundromat has been well worth the money. I save about 5-7 hours a month.
My next big purchase will be a robotic vacuum. Learning to decrease my belongings will help the vacuum do a better job. I may wait a year or more, but it's in my plan and on my mind. Thanks Gabe. You are wise beyond your years.
Happy New Year!!! 👍🙂
Coffee is love. Coffee is life. I like supporting local coffee shops every once in a while but I mostly drink at home :)
☕☕☕ yea I try to get my beans local and buy as local as possible but some times it is what it is
I gave up coffee about 4 months ago :) tempted to go back but I wouldn’t want to get back on the cafe treadmill. Maybe just to make at home, but otherwise tea has been wonderful 🫖 ☕️
Great list Gabe! Thoughtful & well-rounded, as always. Saving this one for sure. 😊👍
Glad you enjoyed it!
I have been using audible for about 4 and a half years and I love it. I especially love for going for a walk and listening to a book. I also did a lot of painting around the house and I listened to books while doing it. I also agree on spending money on learning new skills 👍😊. I hate gyms, but enjoy walking, hiking and a cycle.
I used to roll my eyes at the idea of robot vacuums, but as I embrace a minimalist lifestyle, I see the savings in acquiring things that give you back your time. Love your channel, thanks for confirming what my next purchase will be!
What a great idea: investing in oneself! I'm 73 so I don't want to lose anymore time.
May I add that carefully curating pictures of our loved ones over the years brings great happiness too? One day you'll take the perfect picture of a dear friend or family member, keep it, frame it, and get rid of all the other ones.
Happy New Year Gabe. I always love your vlogs and can not wait till the next one . Yes you have to invest in yourself !!!! We invest in a home, car , gym to better ourselves. Nothing wrong with enjoying the fruits of your labor that you worked so hard to achieve. Life is meant to be enjoyed travel , concerts , family ,etc. I plan on taking a trip to Canada( Montreal) once , I am able to cross the border on Amtrak seeing the beautiful country side and meeting new people and living life has it is meant to be done. LIFE is about living and EXPERIENCING new things.
Great video, Gabe. These adjustments you've made in your life are part of the FIRE movement and reintroducing certain things that may have been sacrificed. It is great to see you enjoying the gifts of the hard work you have been putting in. Just don't start collecting guitars! ;)
Lol you are the first “minimalist channel” I’ve come across and thought “oooh he’s a lot like me…” I love the idea of a more minimalist lifestyle, and I struggle because I actually like & need the mental stimulation which comes from variety (making my coffee various ways, various workout habits or routines, etc). It’s nice to see how you approach it.
Berkey filters are great! I used, for a couple of decades, a water cooler with 5 gal jugs of distilled water. Got a spinal infection, can't lift the bottles anymore. I bought the Berkey and haven't looked back. Compared to tap water--anyone's tap water--for coffee or tea, the change is enormous. I've been doing audiobooks since a boss I had in the 80's used to send cassettes out to we managers across the South. I've gone through a couple of hundred books at Audible. Still love being able to do other things while playing an audiobook.
I drink well water in Arizona and it tastes soo good!!! I also think since eliminating salt I can really taste minerals and that helps greatly. I take iodine pills just an fyi, after eliminating salt.
I really appreciate this info. I share your stuff with my peeps. A lot of takeaway’s here. Thanks!
😃💯🙌🏼
Black and grey shirts. Definitely more of those for me
I've been doing all black like 90% of the time it's so easy I love it
Amazing ! Thank you for this 🙏🏼
Hey, I have the same robot vacuum as yours, it is really helpful and it sweeps better than me. Not miss a spot and sweep a broom unreachable area as well.
Basically, frugal living saves you money to upgrade your life; saving gives you the opportunity to spend on self-care.
Great tips and points, thank you!
I also believe spending money to save time is a minimalist tenet. I always talk about saving money on my channel but I think saving time is just as important if not more, since people often forget about the link between time and money.
Wyze Cams are the best for price and features!!! I love them!
Hope your Berkey is as much of a blessing to you as ours has been to us.
You are so open about your life and finances Gabe, I wondered if you have some thoughts about charitable giving.
I gave up alcohol, eating out in restaurants, and ordered a quarter beef for the freezer, and worked harder on my garden. Can't believe how seldom I go to the grocery.
Just found you. Love your style and your message. New sub
I can get behind you and your style of minimalism and frugality. I cannot stand behind those saying to eat ramen noodles, beans and rice, oatmeal and peanut butter and jelly sandwiches all the time, it's so unhealthy and not enjoyable. Health is very important to me, and what I spend a lot of my monthly budget on. I have two water filters in my home as well, one like yours and an electric one I bought years ago. Best investment we can do is take care of ourselves, our mind, body and spirit. Too many financial gurus impart this bad eating as a positive thing all for saving money like it's the best thing to do. Bad eating will cost you more in the long run with poor health outcomes, it’s completely unwise and harmful to encourage these people to do this. Thank you for not doing these same. I value my health and think it should be listed as the most important thing to care for.
Your videos pack in so much value!
When ever I go to Christmas Child operations box factory, they do free tshirts and I grab whatever size best for me, but few or 5 t-shirts, it's best to save money too
Amazing!i might have edited this video by myself!i agree on all the points you analyzed,another great video!a hug from Sicily
My gyms will go bananas if I train with sandals on.
Another great video Gabe! Thank you ☕️
Love your Video. All your tips are top notch.
Good advice. Worth watching.
Great Video!
New to the channel! On washing dishes ... I've never really understood how it saves time to load abd unload a dishwasher plus clean it out lol. Iwash as I go in hot water and soap it takes seconds,not a criticism at all I reallyam enjoying these videos of yours, you make a lot of sense to me :)
Same, I have very few dishes/cookware so it doesn't take long
I feel like that too, I have a new dishwasher from my apartment, but it takes so long compared to manual hand wash.
Great tips❤
We live in an area that is now going to block entrance to public places for people who aren't Va xx'd. We can't use our gym membership.
I‘d love to see a house tour
Happy New Year, Gabe! Hope it’s the best yet! Wishing you tons of growth and followers so you can get that Tesla! Haha Cheers!
Thanks! Happy new years!
used to eat out a lot because of work hours/tiredness. Now instead of spending 400 on eating out, we spend that on healthy groceries a month. He makes dinner every two days and I make breakfast/lunch before work. He’s also been slimming down just from our diet change and feel more energetic.
So we went to a concert with our good friends last year and you know what my husband slept through the entire concert 😂😂😂 what a experience 😂😂😂
For the clothing buy high quality items and try not to change your body/clothing size that leads to the healthy life styles.✌️
These are great ideas to improving myself. I will definitely try them. Off topic, Gabe is very handsome.
We're pretty frugal in our daily life, so we have more money to save for the future and to travel to beautiful places
hello! i love your videos :)
Thanks!
This is better than talking with an accountant with financial advice.
Don't know if I would one-wheel in flipflops.
Right, bro, we be seeing your feet too much in these videos. Man feet is a no haha.
I like seeing his bare feet! So it’s a thumbs up from me !
Read when you are able to instead of listening to an audio book. I feel reading activates more parts of your brain.
Who else noticed difference in showing 50$ "unknown brand jeans" vs awkward filtered water product placement?
The Artist’s Way 👌🏻 Have you delved into it Gabe?
Starting it now 🔥
Great video
Thanks
Sweet gym shoes, dude
Kaspersky? That's all I need to know.
Apologies in advance for negative comment but this video showcases more of consumerism than minimalism in my opinion. After becoming minimalist i can only think that my spending shifted more to experience spending (theatre, trips, walking) and public transportation. I can’t name any other item I started spending more.
Great work! But.. Sandals in the gym?😂
1:43 - One wheeling in sandals.....what could go wrong 🤷♂️
Interested in the whole idea of all this but kept wondering about the rings... maybe I'm just too old
Yes, the idea of investing in gear to save time sounds great to me. I started doing the same but at a smaller scale for now due to lack of funds, but yes, I also started to realize that my most valuable asset it's TIME!! And I will do whatever it takes to use it mainly for what I enjoy doing! 💯👌
It took me a few years to save up for them but they do help alot
Hey Gabe, if you are looking for a fun, cheap, and time-efficient way to increase fat loss, speed, strength, balance, and reflexes as well as the condition of your bones, brain, and cardiorespiratory system, jumping rope may be the answer. And with practice, you'll be able to perform all kinds of cool, fun moves.
what little camera's did you put in the window
i buy more healthy food. adn em... yea thats it.
(and cbd thc sprays shhh)
Guitars but i already had a very good one before minimalism. emm strings? lol
Nice, really nice… I like it…
Where did u get the one wheel
What planner do you use?
This is the thing I don’t like about minimalism channels… they start by focusing on extreme minimalism and being “frugal”, but as soon as they monetize their content and make more than they actually need to live go the opposite route and change their mind about being frugal. Now is not about him spending only $30 per week on food, is all about organic products, etc…
That’s why I much rather listen to people like Dave Ramsey. He might be a bit rough but He gives consistent and real advise to people on how to actually be financially responsible and get ahead on life.
Nothing against minimalism, I just can’t stand people praising on minimalism “teaching” people about it and then changing their mind.
What was the wheel ... um... thing, kind of like a skateboard? That's a new one for me. I've not seen them. Thanks@
Called a one wheel
@@GabeBult Thank you
that one wheel look fun af but it’s like over 1k😭
what brand jeans do you use??
Love, love, love my Berkey
What is the clothing line that you wear? You always look great.
Cuts cuts.team/gabebult
How do I find a fitness retreat to go to? I need to get my health in check.
Check out movenat it’s the one I went to
Self development are the best investment
Need a dishwasher x
What is the water filter actually filtering out of tap water? I am thankfully living in a region with really high quality tap water, which is controlled better than any bottled water here ;-)
Clorine, bacterias, viruses
Hope you get way over 500k one day . Super motivating ! I’ve saved 90% of my income for 3 weeks in a row 😎
Your run down the stairs terrified me. I fell headfirst down a flight of stairs and nearly broke my neck. Stairs are dangerous. PSA to always have one hand free when walking down stairs and always always use the handrail. Please and thank you. Bye!
One of my friends from high school died from falling down the stairs. She had a lot of health problems so I’m sure that factored in, but it definitely makes me more cautious.
@@username00009 That is super sad. Things like this can happen so fast. :-(
I agree, I always have a hand on my handrail, especially when I'm going downstairs.
Can u show how live. ( yur home.) Thanks....... What kind of water purifier did u get. ( name and price.) Curious🙄😎
Do you have a female wife. I never she her things.you are always showing your clothes. Is she as frugal as you are?
Love your info for us. Keep sending us more info
Goodbye.
what brand of jeans do you were?
A cleaner. Best money I've ever spent!
That might be something I'd do in the future for sure
@@GabeBult my thought process is how long does the task take me? What can I earn elsewhere with that time? Then whether I enjoy it. I outsource the cleaning but don't outsource the car maintenance
It’s really worth it when you find a good one or crew. What blew my mind was there are people out there who are pretty passionate about cleaning in a way that I am not lol
@@justadudeintheworldman.120 I’m one of those people. I clean for a couple of busy families. It’s definitely worth it for them. Everyone wins. 😉
I would never want to hire cleaners. I'm so picky about my own home. I'd rather do it myself and hire someone to cook for me.
Gabe will you tell me what brand t shirt you wear ?
Cuts mostly
Spoke about security.... The sponser is Kaspersky. 🤔
My company recently switched from Kaspersky due to possible safety concerns.
Is there any dating site for minimalist?
Education expenses are tax deductible for businesses 😉
🖖
Berkey is worth every penny!!
✔️😀
Istg if he says stocks...
I notice you look pretty distraught/stressed in every thumbnail. Is minimalism treating you well? You okay, my dude?
